I had a conversation with a 2x, soon to be 3x vaxxed friend last night. It was a pleasant enough conversation and since she has been one of my few vaxxed friends with whom I can talk about covid to some rational extent I took the opportunity last night to ask her just a few questions about things she brought up: 1) you are vaxxed and protected, according to her, so what do you have to fear from the unvaxxed? 2) if you are very concerned about using prescription medication (she uses blood pressure pills including diuretic) why are you not concerned about these shots? She could not answer either question, she just spoke of 'wanting to be safe' and 'this is my decision'. Even when I asked again, 'what makes you feel unsafe around the unvaxxed' and 'why do you so very readily trust the shots', same non answer. Believe it or not, she at one point referred to a university level virology course she took. We are both around 65 yrs old and have a BSc which makes me just as much of a virologist as she is! There is a level and mix of fear and brainwashing that makes people like my friend cocoon themselves in whatever beliefs are required to protect their fragile psyches. Show them facts, truth but if it threatens their safety, they'll still be blind to it. I don't know how to get through. I'm going to search my records and post again for examples of revisionism as our host mr. cattitude has asked for in the hopes that some day, our brainwashed friends will not be able to avoid the truth.
